Megane Bridge

"This bridge spans the Nagao River in Shirahama-cho, Minamiboso City. The triple arch stone bridge was made with stone quarried locally. The bridge's name literally means ""glasses,"" a name it gained because it resembles a pair of glasses when the legs of its arches reflect off the surface of the river. Built with funds donated by residents in 1888, the bridge later survived heavy floods and the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and is famed for its extreme sturdiness. The bridge has been designated a Japan Society of Civil Engineers Admiration of Civil Engineering Heritage, as well as a Tangible Cultural Property by Chiba Prefecture. In winter, the bridge's legs and railing are lit up at night."
